    FYI,

    Nashville officer suspended after Facebook post about Philando Castile | Miami Herald

    “Is part of wearing that vest and 25lbs of gear shooting someone four times and then whining like a little b---- while continuing to keep your weapon drawn on someone while they bleed to death over a period of 10+ minutes?” she asked.

    “Yeah, I would’ve done 5,” Venable responded.

    “Venable’s police authority has been suspended,” Yazdani wrote in an email. “His police credentials and weapons have been turned in while the administrative investigation takes place.”

    Pretty moronic thing to do, especially if you value your job.

    Sometimes it's best to keep your mouth shut. Especially in constantly evolving cases such as this MN shooting. Things are moving too fast, you can't make statements like that until everything comes in. Good grief. I would think you would not make such a stupid statement no matter how the case winds up.

    There are situations where, by virtue of our professional experience, we feel that we offer a relevant viewpoint on some current event. We do it here all the time.

    But when you do it about divisive emotionally charged events you are inviting trouble.
